VALORANT Patch 13.06: what changed
Who this matters to
Ranked players
Performance Score (0–500) replaces ACS and now decides MVP and scoreboard position; Accolades and Rank Legacy track your bests. Riot also reports that its boosting detection is banning 1600 accounts per day (over 90,000 since July 20).
Rifle players and buy-phase planners
The Warden costs 2900 credits like the Vandal and Phantom, has a 2x scope and an 18-round magazine, and deals 50 damage per bullet at all ranges (200 to the head, 42 to the legs).
Agent mains
Agent Mastery starts everyone at zero and previous playtime does not carry over, but Agent Gear rewards you already unlocked are kept.
Mode players
Gauntlet: Glitched arrives as a limited-time mode, and Retake is leaving.
Console players in Australia and New Zealand
VALORANT Console is now available in your region.

Introducing Gauntlet: Glitched, our most ambitious mode yet.
- Sixteen players enter as eight duos. Each round, you'll face another team in a 2v2 showdown.

- Draft from randomized ability options between rounds to build your kit with abilities from different Agents.
